Congratulations on your becoming a church elder. May I share something? It has occurred to me that elders may often be tasked with counseling troubled married couples. So, here are some things that God has laid out concerning marriage.
“I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain [as if I could not be found]’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.” Isaiah 45:19.
“But of that day and hour [the rapture] no one knows, no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:36-39.
